The Lempert-Keene-Seastrand oil spill prevention and response act of 1990 (act), as amended, authorized theC California State Lands Commission (SLC) to regulate marine oilC terminals (MOTs) in order to protect public health, safety, and theC environment. The authority for this regulation is contained in Sections 8755 and 8756 of the California Public Resources Code.CThis act defines "oil" as any kind of petroleum, liquid hydrocarCbons, or petroleum products or any fraction or residues thereof,Cincluding but not limited to, crude oil, bunker fitel, gasoline, dieselCC fuel, aviation fuel, oil sludge, oil refuse, oil mixed with waste, andAliquid distillates from unprocessed natural gas. The provisions ofC this Chapter regulate marine oil terminals as defined under thisC act. . 101F.2 Purpose. The purpose of this Code is to establish minimum engineering, inspection and maintenance criteria for MOTSin order' to prevent oil spills and to proted public health, safetyand the environment. This Code does not,. in general, address operational requirements. Relevant provisions from existing codes,industry 'standards, recommended practices, regulations andguidelines have been incorporated directly or through reference,as part of this Code.' Where there are differing requirements between this Code andlor references cited herein, the choice of application shall be subject to approval of the Marine Facilities Division (Division) of theSLC. In special circumstances where certain requirements of theSestandards cannot be nzet, alternatives that provide an equal or better protection of the public health, safety and the environmentshall be subject to Division approval.C C3101F.3 Applicability. The provisions of this Chapter are applieA cable to the evaluation of existing MOTs and design of new MOTsLA in California. Each provision is classified as New (N), ExistingL eL AL e (E), or Both (NIE) and shall be applied accordingly. If no.classifiL cA cation is indicated, the classification shall be considered to beLL A (NIE).LL AExisting (E) requirements apply to MOTs that are in operationL L eL A on the date this Code is adopted. For these MOTs, equivalent orL Ain-kind replacement of existing equipthent, short pipeline secL eL A dons, or minor modification Of existing components shall also beLL A subject to the existing (E) requirements.LL A New (N) requirements apply to:cAI.

A berthing system consists of the wharf andsupporting structure, mechanical and electrical components thatserve the berth and the entire pipeline from the loading arm ormanifold to the last valve before the pipeline enters a tank storagearea.3102F.1 General.3102F.1.1 Purpose. Section 3102F defines rnirtirnuun requiremews for audit, inspection, and evaluation of the structural, mechanical and electrical components and systems. For example, a MOT consisting of wharves with three berthsadjacent to the shoreline could contain three independent "berthing systems" if the piping does not route through adjacent berths.Therefore, a significant defect that would restrict the operation ofone berth would have no impact on the other two berths. Conversely, if a T-head Piet; with multiple berths sharing a trestle thatsupports all piping to the shoreline, had a significant deficiency onthe common trestle, the operation of all berths could be adverselyimpacted. This configuration is classified as a single berthing system.A3102F.1.2 Audit and Inspections Types. The audit and inspeccA Lions described in this Chapter (31F) and 2 CCR 2320 (a) and (b)[2.11 are:A 1. 'Annual InspectionA2. AuditCA3. Post-Event InspectionAEach has a distinct purpose and is conducted either at a definedA interval (see Tables 31F-2-1 and 31F-2-2), as a result of a potenAA daily damaging event Or a significant change in operations.

This interval nitiy be reduced, basedon the recommendation of the A udit Team Leader; and with the approval of the Division, depending on the extent and rate of deterioration or other factors.The maximum interval for underwa ter Audits is dependent uponthe condition of the facility, the construction material type and/orthe environment at the mane, as shown in Table 31F-2-2.If there are no changes in the defined purpose (see subsection3102F.3.6.1) of the berthing system, then analyses from previousAudits may be referenced However, if there is a significant changein a berthing system, or when deterioration or damage must beconsidered, a new analysis may be required.The Division may require an Audit to justify changes in the useof a berthing system. An example of such change would be in theberthing and mooring configuration of larger or smaller vesselsrelative to dolphin and fender spacing, and potential resultantmodification to operational environmental limitations (e.g. wind speed).Subsequent audits of the above water and underwater struc,tures and mechanical and electrical systems may or May not beperformed concurrently, depending upon-the required inspectionintervals based on the prior audit report.AAA 3102F.3.1 Objective.The objective of the Audit is toreview structural,mechanicaland electrical systems on a prescribed periodicLLi" A. basis to verify that each berthing system is fit for its specific deL c fined purpose.

Alth ough the Level I effort is often referred to as a"Swim-Dy" inspection, it must be detailed enough to detect obvious major damage or deterioration due to overstress or other severe deterioration. It should confirm the continuity of the fulllength of all members and detect undermining or exposure of normally buried elements. A Level I effort may also include limitedprobing of the substructure and adjacent channel bottom.Level I.14 detailed inspection which requires marine growthremoval from a representative sampling of components within thestructure. For piles, a 12-inch high band should be cleaned at designated locations; generally near the low waterline, at the mudline, and midway between the low waterline and the nuidline. On arectangular pile, the nzarinesrowth removal should include atleast three sides; on an octagon pile, at least six sides; on a roundpile; at least three fourths of the perimeter On large diameterpiles, 3 ft or greater marine growth removal should be effected on1 ft by 1 ft areas at four loCations approximately equally spacedaround the perimeter at each elevation. On large solid faced elements such as retaining structures, marine growth removal shouldbe effected on 1 ft by 1 ft areas at the three specified elevations. Theinspection should also focus on typical areas of weakness, such asattachment points and welds. The Level II effort is intended to detect and identify damaged and deteriorated areas that may be hidden by surface biofouling. The thoroughness of marine growthremoval should be governed by what is necessary to discern thecondition of the underlying structural material. Removal of allbiofouling staining is generally not required.Level III—A detailed inspection typically involving nondestruc
